Dear Ms. Harte: I was interested in this story because it featured a shapeshifter of an unusual kind: birds of prey. Cullen Whitefeather is a part of the Ac-taw, the name for those who shape shift. Cullen’s other form is that of a golden eagle. Cullen and his family live in Cougar Falls, an area [...]

Dear Ms. Knight: The first book I read by you was Red Fire (which I thought I had written a review for but could not find in the archives). I enjoyed Red Fire and didn’t hesitate to pick up Red Kiss. The premise of the Gods of Midnight series is that on the last day [...]

Dear Ms. St. Crow, I’m familiar the urban fantasy novels you write under the similar name, Lilith Saintcrow. I enjoyed your Dante Valentine series but wasn’t as keen on your next venture, the Jill Kismet books. But I’m always on the hunt for new young adult novels to read so when I heard you had [...]

Dear Ms. Aiken, When I heard you were expanding beyond the pack books written as Shelly Laurenston to this Dragon Kin series, I was really looking forward to these new books. Not only do I have a soft spot for dragons, but I still love the tough, independent heroines for which you are known. And [...]

Dear Ms. Harris: There is a point in your newest Sookie Stackhouse release, Dead and Gone, where Diantha, demon niece of supe lawyer Mr. Cataliades, warns Sookie of war brewing among the fairies. This spells danger for Sookie because of her connection to the fairy prince Niall, and like the weres in the last book, [...]

Dear Ms. Eden: Thank you for sending me an ARC of your book. You had sent me the first one Hotter After Midnight but I didn’t get around to reading it so I appreciate your persistence in following up with me. I’ve written recently that I’ve been suffering paranormal malaise of some kind. While Immortal Danger isn’t [...]

Dear Ms. Andrews: It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of your writing. I was thrilled to beta read Magic Strikes about a year ago. I remember being very impressed by the quality of your manuscript and gave quite a bit of positive feedback. I was happy to discover that the changes made since [...]

Dear Ms. Abe, I’ve been a fan of your drakon series since the first book, The Smoke Thief. I was one of those readers who had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the paranormal romance revolution, but the drakon series are among the books that make me glad I finally (more ore less) succumbed. [...]

Dear Ms. Ione, I read the first novel in your Demonica paranormal romance series last year but found it didn’t work for me. Most of that has to do with my on-again, off-again malaise with the urban fantasy genre and the fact that its heroine had several traits that reminded me too much of the [...]

Dear Ms. Thomas-Sundstrom, I read your offering for last month’s offering of Nocturne Bites. Although I was disappointed by what I felt was an unresolved plot thread, I later discovered that it had been intended to be the first of a series, in which the various installments were connected by the mystery of an unidentified [...]

Dear Ms. Kittredge, I have an uneasy relationship with the heroine of your Nocturne City novels, Luna Wilder. What this means is that I sometimes think she makes stupid decisions, which I don’t care for since I prefer a certain level of intelligence and competence in my urban fantasy leads (or leads in general, regardless [...]

Janine and Jennie discuss Alisa Sheckley’s urban fantasy novel, The Better to Hold You: Janine: The Better to Hold You was one of my most anticipated books of 2009. I’m a big fan of Alisa Sheckley’s wry, satirical chick lit novels which were published under the name Alisa Kwitney. I remember picking up The Dominant [...]

Dear Ms. Wilks: I fell for Lily Yu and Rule Turner in Tempting Danger and despite the many twists and turns that the series took, I haven’t lost my affection for them. When I first read the series, I thought it was going to be a supernatural Eve/Roarke-ish type series where Lily Yu, a former [...]
